Duke Pediatrics Opens New Sleep Lab

The Division of Pediatric Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine offers a pediatric focused, multidisciplinary
approach to the diagnosis, management, and treatment of sleep disorders in
children. With a growing and experienced sleep medicine staff led by Richard M. Kravitz,
MD, the Division provides a convenient sleep
clinic for newborns through adolescents that is currently held every second
Thursday afternoon in the Duke Children’s Health Center in addition to regular
general pulmonary clinics being offered five days per week at this site. Our
dedicated pediatric sleep lab is available seven nights per week at the CHC and
offers state-of-the-art equipment to aid in the diagnosis and management of
various pediatric sleep disorders.

Beginning Friday,
February 4, 2011, a new two-bed sleep lab will be opening at Duke Children’s
Consultative Services of Raleigh. Sleep studies will initially be offered on
Friday and Saturday nights with services eventually expanding to seven nights
per week. Pediatric Sleep Clinics are currently being held on every fourth and
fifth Wednesday afternoon at the new Raleigh location, in addition to general
pulmonary clinics that take place every Wednesday morning and afternoon.

If you have any questions, or if you need help scheduling
your patients for any of the sleep medicine providers, please contact Richard
